Nutrient cycling within the developing oil palm-legume ecosystem

Oil palms (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) are normally planted in fields stripped of all other vegetation. Leguminous cover crops are planted simultaneously to protect the soil surface and to provide other, less tangible benefits. Nutrient cycling, especially of nitrogen, was followed in a commercial oil palm plantation and showed that: (a) legumes contribute about 150 kg nitrogen ha^?1 year^?1 to the system through nitrogen fixation; (b) during the early stages of oil palm growth the legumes absorb 149 kg nitrogen ha^?1 year^?1 from the soil; (c) with a loss of nitrogen through litter fall of 123 kg nitrogen ha^?1 year^?1, legumes accumulate a net amount of 176 kg nitrogen ha^?1 year^?1 in their foliage; (d) in comparison with “natural” covers, leguminous covers reduce leaching losses by 63 kg nitrogen ha^?1 year ^?1 so that the total benefits of leguminous covers amount to 239 kg nitrogen ha^?1 year^?1; (e) the combined inputs from fertilization and oil palm debris in plots without legumes is 208 kg nitrogen ha^?1 year^?1; and (f) during the initial growth phase, oil palms need only 175 kg nitrogen ha^?1 year^?1. Since legumes fix nitrogen and thoroughly scavenge the soil for minerals they eventually provide more nitrogen to the oil palms than is needed for growth. This surplus nitrogen is “banked” in the legume foliage. Then, when the rooting system of the oil palms has grown under the inter-rows, competition for nutrients causes a gradual decline in the cover-crop. Nutrients “deposited” in the legumes are thus slowly re-released stimulating root-growth and general development of the oil palm.     

Cassava, maize and tree root development as affected by various agroforestry and cropping systems in Bénin, West Africa

Soil fertility levels, climate, aboveground interaction for light in plant canopies, and belowground interactions of the root systems for nutrients and water have an important influence on the performance of cropping systems. This study aims at identifying the impact of agroforestry treatments and fertilizer application on the root development of cassava-based cropping systems. At three sites in southern Bénin, the root development of intercropped maize (Zea mays) and cassava (Manihot esculenta) vs. sole-cropped cassava was monitored in an NPK fertilizer treatment and a no-fertilizer and no-mulch treatment. The latter represented local farmers’ practice. In addition, root development of sole-cropped cassava in three agroforestry systems was recorded at the same sites consisting of: (i) annually planted Cajanus cajan, (ii) perennial alleys, and (iii) a tree block of a Gliricidia sepium, Flemingia macrophylla, Parkia biglobosa, Millettia thonningii mixture. Soil monolith sampling was used to extract roots and generate data on the morphological development of root systems and their interactions. In general, intercropping reduced cassava root length density (RLD). Fertilizer applications significantly increased (P≤0.05) the RLD of intercropped maize and intercropped cassava at all sites. Annual alleys of C. cajan developed smaller RLD and root weight densities (RWD) than the perennial tree mixture, leading to less interference with cassava. Block arrangement of the tree mixture had detrimental effects on the cassava growth in the adjacent rows, indicated by high RLD and RWD of the tree mixture. However, the overall effect on cassava yield was positive, when the crop yield is calculated on an entire field basis.     

库布齐沙漠油蒿灌丛土壤呼吸速率时空变异特征研究

利用Li-840红外气体分析仪和Li-6400-09土壤呼吸气室组装而成的动态密闭土壤呼吸测定系统,于2006年生长季对内蒙古库布齐沙漠油蒿(Artemisia ordosica)生态系统2种不同类型土壤的土壤呼吸速率进行了野外测定,分析了日动态、季节动态及其对环境因子的响应,并阐述了油蒿灌丛空间异质性的特征.结果表明,油蒿灌丛的土壤呼吸速率日动态呈单峰曲线,在12:00左右有最大值.在适宜的水分和温度条件下,生长季里土壤呼吸速率在7～8月份出现最大值.土壤呼吸速率的季节动态与土壤含水量有显著的相关关系,表明水分是限制生长季干旱区灌丛土壤呼吸的最重要因子,分别可以解释油蒿冠幅下土壤和裸地的土壤呼吸速率2006年主要生长季节(5～9月)变化的75%和77%.油蒿灌丛土壤呼吸速率在空间尺度上存在着显著的异质性.油蒿冠幅覆盖下的土壤呼吸速率季节平均值为(155.58±15.20) mg·(m²·h)^-1,要显著地大于灌丛间裸地的数值(110.50±6.77) mg·(m²·h)^-1.2种不同类型土壤的土壤呼吸速率是由于根生物量的差异引起的,根生物量可以解释2006年生长季库布齐油蒿灌丛土壤呼吸速率空间异质性的43%.结果表明,在植被覆盖度异质性较大的灌丛生态系统中,要准确定量生态系统碳的释放时,必须充分考虑小尺度上土壤呼吸的空间异质性.     

不同再生水灌溉方式对土壤-辣椒系统中细菌群落多样性及病原菌丰度的影响

再生水是改善水资源布局和缓解传统水源短缺问题的一种合理且可持续的替代水源,但用于灌溉会引起土壤和作物中微生物群落结构和条件致病菌丰度变化,目前这方面的研究报道较少.本研究以辣椒为对象,设置再生水灌溉(DI)、清水和再生水混灌(MI,清水∶再生水=1∶1)、清水和再生水轮灌(RI)处理,以清水灌溉(PI)为对照,通过温室盆栽试验研究不同灌溉方式对土壤性质的影响,并基于高通量测序技术结合定量PCR方法探讨再生水灌溉下辣椒果实与根际细菌群落组成和病原菌分布丰度特征.结果表明,与清水灌溉相比,再生水直接灌溉增加了土壤EC值,而降低了pH值.16S r DNA高通量测序结果显示,在门分类水平上,Proteobacteria、Bacteroidetes、Actinobacteria和Firmicutes是辣椒果实和根际共有的主要类群,其优势菌属Pantoea、Pseudomonas、Sphingomonas、Sphingopyxis、Luteimonas和Mariniflexile的相对丰度受再生水灌溉方式的影响较大.再生水灌溉分别使辣椒果实和根际中Legionella spp.和Pseudomonas syringae丰度显著增加,并且对病原菌丰度的影响差异较大.综上所述,再生水适宜作为农业灌溉用水,但不同灌溉方式可能不同程度上引入微生物污染问题,其中特定条件致病菌和植物病原菌值得关注.     

Soil loss due to harvesting of various crop types in contrasting agro-ecological environments

Soil erosion studies on cropland usually only consider water, wind and tillage erosion. However, significant amounts of soil are also lost from the field during the harvest of crops such as sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.), potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), chicory roots (Cichorium intybus L.), cassava (Manihot spp.) and sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam). During the harvest soil adhering to the crop, loose soil or soil clods and rock fragments are exported from the field together with these crops.This soil erosion process is referred to as ‘soil losses due to crop harvesting’ (SLCH). Most of the studies investigated SLCH variability and its controlling factors for one crop type in similar agro-ecological environments and for comparable harvesting techniques. In this study, a compilation of SLCH studies was made in order to investigate the effect of crop type, agricultural systems, ecological conditions and harvesting technique on SLCH variability. SLCH rates ranged from few to tens of Mg ha⁻¹ harvest⁻¹ and SLCH was highly variable both in space and time. Comparison of four studies on SLCH for sugar beet revealed that harvesting technique and soil moisture content at harvesting time can be equally important for SLCH variability. The occurrence of soil clods harvested with the crop explained why SLCH was significantly larger for mechanically harvested potato in Belgium compared to manually harvested potato in China. SLCH values for manually harvested sugar beet, potato, cassava and sweet potato in China and Uganda were in general smaller than SLCH values for mechanically harvested sugar beet, potato and witloof chicory roots measured in Belgium and France. However, SLCH may also vary significantly within Europe due to differences in harvesting techniques. Soil moisture content at harvesting time was besides harvesting technique one of the key factors controlling SLCH variability. There were no systematic differences in SLCH between crop types, although the soil–crop contact area–crop mass ratio could explain more than 40% of the means from several SLCH studies.     

模拟氮沉降对重庆缙云山马尾松林土壤呼吸和酶活性的季节性影响

土壤酶参与土壤碳氮转化,同时土壤碳氮状况又是土壤酶活性的基础,而大气氮沉降通过影响土壤酶活性进而影响土壤CO_2释放.通过野外模拟试验,探讨不同氮沉降量对马尾松土壤呼吸和酶活性的影响,探索该区域马尾松土壤呼吸(Rs)与土壤温度(T)、土壤湿度(W)、Ure(脲酶)、Ive(转化酶)、CAT(过氧化氢酶)及ACP(酸性磷酸酶)的关系,为深入研究氮沉降对马尾松林森林生态系统的影响提供参考.2014年5月~2015年7月在缙云山马尾松林设置3个氮添加水平和一个无氮添加的对照处理:低氮[N_5,20 g·(m~2·a)~(-1)],中氮[N_(10),40 g·(m~2·a)~(-1)]、高氮[N_(15),60 g·(m~2·a)~(-1)]和对照[N0,0g·(m~2·a)~(-1)],每个处理量分4次,在每个季度开始各施1次,每个处理各9次重复,采用ACE(automated soil CO_2exchange station,UK)自动土壤呼吸监测系统分别对土壤呼吸、土壤温度和土壤湿度进行分析测定.结果表明:1土壤酶和土壤呼吸均具有明显的季节变化规律,各处理土壤呼吸均表现为夏季最高,其次是春季和秋季,最低为冬季,而各处理土壤酶活性则无一致的变化规律.2总体而言,氮沉降对土壤呼吸和酶活性均有抑制作用,且抑制程度随氮浓度增加而加强,但冬季氮沉降对马尾松林土壤呼吸有促进作用,春、夏、秋这3个季节氮沉降对Ure、Ive、CAT及ACP有抑制作用,而冬季氮沉降对4种土壤酶活性影响则存在差异.3逐步回归表明,无氮和低氮处理时,T、Ure和Ive对Rs的贡献较大,且随着T、Ure和Ive的增加,Rs也急剧增加;中氮处理时,T、Ure和CAT对Rs的贡献较大,Rs随着T、Ure和Ive的增加而增加;高氮处理时,Rs随着Ure的增加而降低,随着CAT和W的增加而增加.     

黄土丘陵区3种典型天然草地群落土壤呼吸对模拟降雨的响应

土壤呼吸是影响陆地生态系统碳循环的关键生态学过程之一,降雨是土壤呼吸变化的重要驱动因子.为探明黄土丘陵区退耕草地群落土壤呼吸对降雨的短期响应规律,选择白羊草(Bothriochloa ischaemum)、达乌里胡枝子(Lespedeza davurica)、铁杆蒿(Artemisia gmelinii)为优势种的3种草地群落为研究对象,于2014年6月和7月,以未降雨群落为对照,对比测定了2种模拟降雨量(15 mm和50 mm)下连续8 d的土壤呼吸速率及土壤水分和土壤温度等.结果表明:2种模拟降雨量对3种草地群落土壤温度和土壤含水量均具有显著影响(p0.05).50 mm降雨下群落土壤呼吸速率增加量高于15 mm降雨.3种群落土壤呼吸对降雨的响应程度存在明显差异,其中,土壤呼吸速率峰值高低顺序为:白羊草(1.75 g·m~(-2)·h~(-1))铁杆蒿(1.69 g·m~(-2)·h~(-1))达乌里胡枝子(1.12 g·m~(-2)·h~(-1)).0~10 cm土壤含水量与土壤呼吸速率呈显著对数函数关系.3种群落土壤呼吸温度敏感性系数Q_(10)值变化范围是1.31~2.01,且月份和降雨量处理间均存在差异.研究表明,准确评估降雨格局改变背景下退耕草地生态系统碳收支需考虑群落类型的差异.     

Cover crop effects on nitrous oxide emission from a manure-treated Mollisol

Agriculture contributes 40–60% of the total annual N₂O emissions to the atmosphere. Development of management practices to reduce these emissions would have a significant impact on greenhouse gas levels. Non-leguminous cover crops are efficient scavengers of residual soil NO₃, thereby reducing leaching losses. However, the effect of a grass cover crop on N₂O emissions from soil receiving liquid swine manure has not been evaluated. This study investigated: (i) the temporal patterns of N₂O emissions following addition of swine manure slurry in a laboratory setting under fluctuating soil moisture regimes; (ii) assessed the potential of a rye (Secale cereale L.) cover crop to decrease N₂O emissions under these conditions; and (iii) quantified field N₂O emissions in response to either spring applied urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) or different rates of fall-applied liquid swine manure, in the presence or absence of a rye/oat winter cover crop. Laboratory experiments investigating cover crop effects N₂O emissions were performed in a controlled environment chamber programmed for a 14 h light period, 18 °C day temperature, and 15 °C night temperature. Treatments with or without a living rye cover crop were treated with either: (i) no manure; (ii) a phosphorus-based manure application rate (low manure): or (iii) a nitrogen-based manure application rate (high manure). We observed a significant reduction in N₂O emissions in the presence of the rye cover crop. Field experiments were performed on a fine-loamy soil in Central Iowa from October 12, 2005 to October 2, 2006. We observed no significant effect of the cover crop on cumulative N₂O emissions in the field. The primary factor influencing N₂O emission was N application rate, regardless of form or timing. The response of N₂O emission to N additions was non-linear, with progressively more N₂O emitted with increasing N application. These results indicate that while cover crops have the potential to reduce N₂O emissions, N application rate may be the overriding factor.     

基于土壤水分变化的砷与土壤碱性磷酸酶活性关系探讨

砷作为土壤主要污染元素之一,其毒性受到存在形态等的影响.土壤酶是土壤重要组成部分,但水分对二者关系的影响鲜见报道.本文采用室内模拟方法,在35%、65%和110%最大饱和持水量(WHC)条件下,较为系统地分析了不同水分下土壤有效砷及土壤碱性磷酸酶活性的变化规律.结果表明:外源砷浓度、老化时间是影响土壤有效砷含量的主要因素,且有效砷浓度随老化时间延长降幅减缓,Elovich方程较好表征了二者关系,揭示出水分对土壤有效砷向其他形态转变速率影响的大小顺序为:110%WHC65%WHC35%WHC;干燥(35%WHC)和淹水(110%WHC)导致土壤碱性磷酸酶活性减小;砷抑制土壤碱性磷酸酶活性,模型U=A/(1+B×C)可较好表征砷浓度(C)与土壤酶活性(U)的关系,揭示出土壤碱性磷酸酶活性在一定程度上可表征土壤砷污染程度,并反映出其机理为完全抑制作用;计算得到了土壤砷轻度污染的临界浓度Ecological dose 10%(ED10)总砷99 mg·kg-1和有效砷39 mg·kg-1,从侧面表明土壤碱性磷酸酶在土壤砷浓度达到国家土壤质量标准中的二级标准前不会对土壤酶产生严重毒害;水分由于对砷的存在状态等的作用,从而对土壤碱性磷酸酶活性产生重要影响.     

5种豆科植物对铜尾矿的适应性研究

针对铜陵市铜尾矿废弃地的复垦,选用了5种豆科植物在5种不同的改良方式上进行盆栽试验研究.5种供试物种为:大豆(Glycine max)、赤豆(Phaseolus angularis)、赤小豆(P.calcaratus)、绿豆(P.radiatus)、山绿豆(P.mininus).研究结果发现,抑制植物生长的主要因素是尾矿基质极端贫瘠,重金属铜含量过高的缘故;5种豆科植物在5种改良方式上均可以萌发,但在基质上尾矿所占的比例越高,种子的萌发越晚;间苗后,供试物种大豆、赤豆和赤小豆植株全部成活,另外2种因不适应尾矿,有死亡现象.在同一改良方式中,第50天时,大豆及赤小豆叶片中叶绿素的含量比其它3种高;第70天时,大豆及赤小豆的株高及生物量也高出另外3种供试物种.综合生长期内各方面生物学指标,5种豆科植物中,大豆和赤小豆比其它3种植物具有较强的耐性,TA75的改良方式比较合理,可用于尾矿的复垦.

应用PLFA法分析氮沉降对缙云山马尾松林土壤微生物群落结构的影响

氮沉降虽可提升林地生产力却会给环境造成压力,而土壤微生物对环境变化敏感.通过野外模拟试验,探讨不同氮沉降量对马尾松土壤微生物群落的影响,探索该区域马尾松土壤微生物群落与土壤温湿度、氮沉降浓度的关系,为深入研究氮沉降对马尾松林土壤生态系统的影响提供参考.2014年5月~2015年6月在缙云山马尾松林设置3个氮添加水平和一个无氮添加的对照处理:低氮[N20,20 g·(m~2·a)~(-1)]、中氮[N40,40 g·(m~2·a)~(-1)]、高氮[N60,60 g·(m~2·a)~(-1)]和对照[N0,0g·(m~2·a)~(-1)],采用磷脂脂肪酸(PLFA)标记法和ACE(automated soil CO_2 exchange station,UK)自动土壤呼吸监测系统分别对土壤微生物群落结构、土壤温度和土壤湿度进行分析测定.结果表明:1季节变化对土壤细菌、真菌、放线菌及总PLFA量有显著影响(P0.05),各类型均在春季最高,冬季最低.在不同季节,土壤微生物量对氮沉降的响应趋势不同,总体而言,春季和秋季氮沉降抑制了土壤微生物量,夏季和冬季氮沉降促进了土壤微生物量.2氮沉降对土壤微生物群落结构有显著影响(P0.05),在春季和夏季,低、中氮沉降使土壤微生物丰富度指数和多样性降低,使均匀度指数升高;在秋季和冬季,低氮和中氮则使丰富度指数、多样性指数及均匀度指数升高.高氮沉降使4个季节土壤微生物丰富度指数、多样性指数和均匀度指数降低.3相关性分析表明,氮沉降浓度与细菌呈极显著负相关(P0.01),与总PLFA呈显著负相关(P0.05);土壤温度与放线菌呈极显著负相关;土壤湿度与细菌和总PLFA呈极显著正相关.综上所述,缙云山马尾松林土壤微生物群落结构主要受土壤湿度和氮沉降的影响,受土壤温度影响较小.     

三江平原湿地开垦对土壤微生物群落结构的影响

过度开垦会导致湿地生态系统的快速退化,湿地土壤微生物能够敏感地反映湿地土壤质量及湿地生态系统功能的演变.为研究土地利用变化对湿地微生物群落结构的影响,以黑龙江抚远三江湿地保护区为研究对象,采集其中的原始泥炭湿地、开垦后改种豆科植物及水稻的3种湿地土壤.采用基于细菌16S rRNA基因的高通量测序技术研究上述土壤细菌的群落结构,并探讨其与土壤环境因子间的关系.结果表明,不同土地利用方式湿地土壤中的优势菌门均为变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、放线菌门(Actinobacteria)及酸杆菌门(Acidobacteria),但土地利用方式明显改变了湿地土壤细菌属的组成.改种豆科植物土壤中Blastocatella、Coxiella、Rickettsia丰度较高,水稻田土中Massilia、Nitrosomonas、Bradyrhizobium聚集较多,而泥炭湿地中含较高丰度的Rhizomicrobium、Arthrobacter、Bacillus.结合Chao值与Shannon指数,水稻田土微生物多样性高于改种豆科植物土壤及泥炭湿地土壤,而后两种土壤细菌群落多样性则未见明显差异.相关性分析表明,土壤p H及含水率是影响微生物群落组成的重要驱动因子,说明湿地土壤开垦后改变了土壤p H、含水率及土壤养分,从而对微生物群落结构产生影响.     

基于宏基因组学揭示咸水滴灌对棉田土壤微生物的影响

咸水灌溉已成为缓解干旱区淡水短缺的重要手段,但长期咸水灌溉会造成土壤盐分积累,影响土壤微生物群落结构,进而影响土壤养分转化.通过宏基因组学的手段探究长期咸水滴灌对棉田土壤微生物群落结构的影响,试验中灌溉水盐度(ECw)设2个处理：0.35 dS·m^-1和8.04 dS·m^-1(分别用FW和SW表示),施氮量分别为0 kg·hm^-2和360 kg·hm^-2(分别用N0和N360表示).结果表明,咸水灌溉提高土壤含水量、盐分、有机碳和全氮含量,降低土壤pH和速效钾含量,氮肥施用增加土壤有机碳、盐分和全氮含量,降低土壤含水量、 pH和速效钾含量.各处理土壤的优势菌门为：变形菌门、放线菌门、酸杆菌门、绿弯菌门和芽单胞菌门.咸水灌溉显著提高放线菌门、绿弯菌门、芽单胞菌门和厚壁菌门的相对丰度,显著降低变形菌门、酸杆菌门、蓝细菌和硝化螺旋菌门的相对丰度.氮肥施用显著提高绿弯菌门和硝化螺旋菌门的相对丰度,显著降低酸杆菌门、芽单胞菌门、浮霉菌门、蓝细菌和疣微菌门的相对丰度.LEfSe分析表明,咸水灌溉对土壤微生物群落...     

林地转型耕地对东北丘陵区白浆土cbbL细菌群落丰度和结构的影响

土壤固碳细菌的CO_2同化作用能够将CO_2转化成有机质,是土壤碳循环的重要过程,然而对土地利用方式转变下土壤固碳细菌群落丰度和结构变化的了解却非常有限.在此,采用q PCR和高通量测序技术研究了东北丘陵区林地转型耕地后白浆土cbb L细菌群落丰度和结构变化,并探讨了土壤理化因子在群落丰度和结构变化中的作用.结果表明,耕地土壤细菌的cbb L基因丰度为2. 57×108copies·g~(-1),显著低于林地土壤的7. 30×108copies·g~(-1),但林地与耕地间cbb L/16S r RNA基因拷贝数比无显著差异.与林地相比,耕地土壤cbb L细菌群落的Shannon和Chao1指数显著降低,而Simpson指数显著升高.系统发育树分析和主坐标分析(principal co-ordinates analysis,PCo A)均表明林地转型耕地改变了土壤cbb L细菌群落组成.Pearson相关分析表明,cbb L基因丰度和Shannon指数均与pH极显著正相关,而与AP和NO_3-显著负相关,证明了施肥导致的土壤pH和速效养分改变是造成土壤cbb L细菌群落丰度和多样性变化的主要原因.典范对应分析(canonical correspondence analysis,CCA)显示,pH、NO_3-、AP和NH_4+与土壤cbb L细菌群落结构变化显著相关.综上所述,了解土壤cbb L细菌群落对土地利用方式转变的响应及其微生物学机制将为加强我国东北丘陵区白浆土的可持续利用及生态环境重建提供新的见解.     

矿区不同植被复垦模式对土壤细菌群落结构的影响

以安太堡露天煤矿复垦区为研究对象,用PCR-DGGE技术分析不同复垦植被(榆树、落叶松、杏树、云杉和刺槐)及复垦年限(15年和20年)对土壤细菌的影响.土壤细菌多样性分析结果表明:复垦20年组,榆树最高,杏树最低,其余3个植被无显著差异;复垦15年组,云杉显著高于刺槐;刺槐随复垦年限延长,其土壤细菌多样性显著增高,而云杉却反之.相似性系数分析、聚类分析和PCA均显示,相同复垦年限的土样细菌群落结构相似性高.相关性分析表明细菌多样性指数和土壤pH显著正相关.优势和差异条带测序鉴定出Nitrospira、Sphingomonas、Arthrobacter、Brachybacterium、Rhizobium以及Mesorhizobium等或参与氮循环、或降解多环芳烃及杂环有机物的细菌属.本研究说明榆树和云杉有利于土壤细菌多样性的恢复;复垦区土壤的优势菌群多为有利于污染土壤的生态修复和肥力恢复的功能细菌属.     

内蒙古河套灌区不同盐碱程度土壤CH4吸收规律

土壤盐碱化严重威胁土地可持续利用和温室气体排放.本研究选择内蒙古河套灌区3种盐碱土壤［S1：盐化土壤,电导率（EC）4.80 dS·m^-1;S2：强度盐碱土壤,电导率（EC）2.60 dS·m^-1;S3：轻度盐碱土壤,电导率（EC）0.74 dS·m^-1］.利用静态暗箱法野外原位观测研究盐碱土壤甲烷（CH₄）吸收规律.结果表明,不同盐碱程度土壤CH₄吸收每年均存在显著差异,2014年生长季（F=18.0,P<0.001）,2015年生长季（F=23.6,P<0.001）和2016年生长季（F=28.4,P<0.001）.轻度盐碱土壤CH₄累积吸收量最高,盐化土壤累积吸收量最低.随土壤盐碱程度加重,土壤CH₄累积吸收量降低.轻度盐碱土壤CH₄累积吸收量在2014~2016年3个生长季（4~10月）分别为150.0、119.6和99.9 mg·m^-2;重度盐碱土壤CH₄累积吸收量比轻度盐碱土壤分别降低27%、28%和19%;盐化土壤CH₄累积吸收量比轻度盐碱土壤分别降低35%、35%和53%.冗余分析表明,盐碱土壤CH₄吸收通量与土壤EC的投影在第一主成分轴正方向和反方向,土壤EC越高,CH₄吸收通量越低.土壤电导率EC是调控盐碱土壤CH₄吸收的关键因子,相关系数r为-0.8809（P<0.01,n=9）.     

DH-Ⅰ型SMFC传感器产电信号对连续多次镉污染的响应研究

本研究考察了一种自主研发的新型沉积物微生物燃料电池传感器(命名为DH-I型SMFC传感器)产电信号对连续多次Cd~(2+)污染事件的响应特征.采用淹水土壤模拟湿地环境,将该传感器的阳极(不锈钢管)插入淹水土壤中,阴极(铂网)位于上覆水下方.分别向每个传感器阴极上方的上覆水中加入50 mL Cd~(2+)浓度为25、50、100、200 mg·L~(-1)的CdCl_2溶液,对照加入50 mL去离子水.每天早晚各加入一次Cd~(2+)污染,连续加入27 d,即每个传感器各加入53次相同浓度的CdCl_2溶液.结果表明,每次加入Cd~(2+)污染后,电压均迅速上升,在30 s内达到峰值后逐渐回落到稳定状态;并且电压增量(峰值电压与基线电压的差值)随着加入的Cd~(2+)浓度增加而升高;而相同Cd~(2+)浓度53次加入引起的电压增量具有较好的一致性.土壤产电细菌的代表类群地杆菌科(Geobacteraceae)和梭菌属(Clostridium)16S rRNA基因丰度均未随着Cd~(2+)浓度的增加而降低.针对土壤中不同形态Cd~(2+)浓度的检测结果表明,0～3 cm的表层土壤吸附了大量Cd~(2+),使得土壤中的产电细菌免受Cd~(2+)的抑制,从而该传感器产电信号能够在湿地环境中,原位在线监测多次Cd~(2+)污染.     

黄河三角洲不同植物群落土壤酶活性特征及影响因子分析

土壤酶是滨海湿地群落构建和演替的关键因子,但水盐胁迫条件下土壤酶活性的驱动机制尚不明确.以黄河三角洲盐地碱蓬、芦苇、柽柳这3种盐生植物群落为对象,研究其根际与非根际土壤中蔗糖酶、磷酸酶、过氧化氢酶和脲酶的活性特征及其分布规律,并结合土壤理化性质的变化探讨滨海湿地群落演替过程中土壤酶活性的驱动因子.结果表明,盐地碱蓬、芦苇、柽柳群落的根际土壤酶活性和土壤肥力指标均显著高于非根际土壤(P 0. 05).在根际土壤中,磷酸酶与过氧化氢酶活性均表现为盐地碱蓬芦苇柽柳,蔗糖酶与脲酶活性则分别表现为柽柳盐地碱蓬芦苇、盐地碱蓬柽柳芦苇,且不同盐生植物群落根际土壤理化性质存在显著差异(P 0. 05),说明植物类型及其根际效应均会影响土壤酶活性和土壤肥力特征,且根际效应对土壤酶活性的影响大于植被类型.土壤蔗糖酶活性与有效钾(AK)、有效磷(AP)、铵态氮(NH_4~+-N)显著正相关(P 0. 05);脲酶活性与全氮(TN)、有机质(SOM)、AK、AP、NH_4~+-N和硝态氮(NO_3~--N)显著正相关(P 0. 01);二者均与土壤电导率(EC)显著负相关(P 0. 01).磷酸酶和过氧化氢酶活性与土壤含水率(MC)、全碳(TC)、TN、全磷(TP)、SOM、AK和NH_4~+-N均呈显著正相关关系(P 0. 05),同时,pH、总钾(TK)、NO_3~--N还与过氧化氢酶活性显著正相关(P 0. 05).冗余分析(RDA)结果显示,黄河三角洲土壤酶活性特征的主要影响因子从大到小依次为:TC(P 0. 01)、SOM(P 0. 01)、MC(P 0. 01)、TN(P 0. 05)、NH_4~+-N(P 0. 05)和EC(P 0. 05),表明土壤肥力、水分与盐度是黄河三角洲盐生植物群落土壤酶活性的主要影响因子.     

Cation exchange capacities of soil organic matter fractions in a Ferric Lixisol with different organic matter inputs

Soil organic matter (SOM) has an important effect on the physicochemical status of highly weathered soils in the tropics. This work was conducted to determine the contribution of different SOM fractions to the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of a tropical soil and to study the effect of organic matter inputs of different biochemical composition on the CEC of SOM. Soil samples were collected from a 20-year-old arboretum established on a Ferric Lixisol, under seven multipurpose tree species: Afzelia africana, Dactyladenia barteri, Gliricidia sepium, Gmelina arborea, Leucaena leucocephala, Pterocarpus santalinoides, and Treculia africana. Fractions were obtained by wet sieving and sedimentation after ultrasonic dispersion. Relationships between CEC and pH were determined using the silver thiourea-method and were described by linear regression. The CEC of the fractions smaller than 0.053 mm was inversely related to their particle size: clay (<0.002 mm)>fine silt (0.002–0.02 mm)>coarse silt (0.02–0.053 mm), except for the soils under T. africana, D. barteri, and L. leucocephala, where the CEC of the fine silt fraction was highest or comparable to the CEC of the clay fraction. The clay and fine silt fractions were responsible for 76–90% of the soil CEC at pH 5.8. The contribution of the fine silt fraction to the CEC at pH 5.8 ranged from 35 to 50%, which stressed the importance of the fine silt fraction for the physicochemical properties of the soil. Differences in CEC between treatments for the whole soil and the fractions could be explained by the differences in carbon content. Except for the intercept for the clay fraction, SOM had a significant (P<0.001) contribution to both the intercepts (=estimated CEC at pH 0) and slopes (=pH-dependent charge) of the CEC–pH relationships for the whole soil and the fractions. The CEC of SOM at pH 5.8 varied between 283 cmol_c kg⁻¹ C for particulate organic matter, and 563 cmol_c kg⁻¹ C for the fine silt fraction. The biochemical composition of the organic inputs did not have an important effect on the CEC of SOM. In total, SOM was responsible for 75–85% of the CEC of these soils.
